Abstract

The demand for novel electronics that can monitor human health, for example, the physical conditions of individuals, during daily life using different techniques from those used in traditional clinic diagnostic facilities is increasing. These novel electronics include stretchable sensor devices that allow various biosignals to be directly measured on human skin without restricting routine activity. The thin, skin-like characteristics of these devices enable stable operation under various deformations, such as stretching, pressing, and rubbing, experienced while attached to skin. The mechanically engineered design of these devices also minimizes the inconvenience caused by long-term wear owing to conformal lamination on the skin. The final form of a skin-attachable device must be an integrated platform with an independent and complete system containing all components on a single, thin, lightweight, stretchable substrate. To fabricate fully integrated devices, various aspects, such as material design for deformable interconnection, fabrication of high-performance active devices, miniaturization, and dense arrangement of component devices, should be considered. In particular, a power supply system is critical and must be combined in an electromechanically stable and efficient manner with all devices, including sensors. Additionally, the biosignals obtained by these sensors should be wirelessly transmitted to external electronic devices for free daily activity. This Account covers recent progress in developing fully integrated, stretchable, skin-attachable devices by presenting our strategies to achieve this goal. First, we introduce several integration methods used in this field to build stretchable systems with a special focus on the utilization of liquid gallium alloy. The unique characteristics and patterning process of liquid metal are summarized. Second, various skin-attachable sensors, including strain, pressure, with enhanced sensitivity and mechanical properties are discussed along with their applications for biosignal monitoring. Dual mode sensors that simultaneously detect temperature and pressure signals without interference are also introduced. Third, we emphasize supercapacitors as promising, efficient energy storage devices for power management systems in wearable devices. Supercapacitors for skin-attachable applications should have a high performance, such as high operation voltage, high energy and power densities, cyclic and air stability and water resistance. For this, strategies to select novel materials for electrode, electrolyte, and encapsulation are suggested. Several approaches to fabricate stretchable supercapacitor systems are also presented. Finally, we introduce recent examples of skin-attachable, stretchable electronics that integrate sensors, power management devices, and wireless data transfer functions on a single elastomer substrate. Conventional wireless technologies, such as near-field communications (NFC) and Bluetooth, are incorporated in miniaturized features on the devices. To date, much research has been performed in this field, but there are still many technologies to develop. The performance of individual devices and mass fabrication techniques should be enhanced. We expect that future electronic devices with fully integrated functions will include advanced human-machine interaction capabilities and expand the overall abilities of the human body.

摘要

对能够利用传统临床诊断设备以外的技术在日常生活中监测人体健康(例如个体的生理状况)的新型电子产品的需求正在增长。这些新型电子产品包括可拉伸传感器设备,可在不限制日常活动的情况下直接在人体皮肤上测量各种生物信号。这些设备具有薄型、类似皮肤的特性,可在附着于皮肤时经历的各种变形(例如拉伸、按压和摩擦)下稳定运行。这些设备的机械工程设计还最大限度地减少了因长期佩戴而造成的不便,因为它们可以在皮肤上实现贴合。可附着于皮肤的设备的最终形式必须是一个集成平台,其中包含所有组件的独立和完整系统,都集成在一个单一的、薄的、轻量级的、可拉伸的衬底上。为了制造完全集成的设备,应考虑各种方面,例如用于可变形互连的材料设计、高性能有源器件的制造、小型化以及组件设备的密集布置。特别是,电源系统至关重要,必须与包括传感器在内的所有设备以机电稳定和高效的方式结合。此外,这些传感器获得的生物信号应通过无线传输到外部电子设备,以便在日常生活中自由活动。本综述通过介绍实现这一目标的策略,介绍了开发完全集成的、可拉伸的、可附着于皮肤的设备方面的最新进展。首先,我们介绍了该领域中用于构建具有特殊重点的可拉伸系统的几种集成方法,即利用液态镓合金。总结了液态金属的独特特性和图案化工艺。其次,讨论了各种可附着于皮肤的传感器,包括应变、压力传感器,以及它们在生物信号监测方面的应用,同时还介绍了具有增强的灵敏度和机械性能的传感器。还介绍了同时检测温度和压力信号而互不干扰的双模传感器。第三,我们强调超级电容器作为可穿戴设备中电源管理系统的有前途的高效能量存储设备。用于可附着于皮肤的应用的超级电容器应该具有高的性能,例如高工作电压、高能量和功率密度、循环和空气稳定性以及耐水性。为此,建议选择用于电极、电解质和封装的新型材料的策略。还提出了几种制造可拉伸超级电容器系统的方法。最后,我们介绍了最近的一些例子,说明了可附着于皮肤的、可拉伸的电子产品,它们在单个弹性体衬底上集成了传感器、电源管理设备和无线数据传输功能。在设备上还集成了传统的无线技术,例如近场通信(NFC)和蓝牙技术。迄今为止,该领域已经进行了大量研究,但仍有许多技术有待开发。应提高单个设备的性能和大规模制造技术。我们预计,未来具有完全集成功能的电子设备将具有先进的人机交互功能,并扩展人体的整体能力。
